What's your Sync story? (self.syncforlemmy)

Mine is originally using Baconreader while in the dorm community bathroom doing a deuce and seeing a mention of Sync. Installed and instantly became a user. Later on I had a problem with the app because I was running beta Android. Reached out to the dev and after a few fix attempts an update was posted that fixed the issue. To get that kind of support is rare and is why I have continued to stand by Sync all these years.

I started with Alien Blue on the iPhone, and eventually that was killed and I switched to Apollo. Eventually I tore myself from the iOS ecosystem with the Pixel 3 Pro but couldn't find a decent enough reddit client on Android.

I started begrudgingly using Baconreader (I don't think it was actually all that bad in hindsight, but not what I was looking for after Apollo) until I read a comment on Reddit somewhere about Sync. I tried the free version and liked it, so I bought Sync Pro and never looked back.

I can't stand Reddit's UI direction in both the web app and the mobile application, and only ever used old.reddit + RES along side Sync Pro on the go. Occasionally I would use Apollo on my iPad, but it always felt like a second rate experience to what I was used to on Android. There were some neat clients that did things like emulating TikTok/Instagram that I would occasionally use, but I never stuck to them.
